» Individualized Dietary Program

The diet you will experience during your stay excludes common food allergens (gluten, dairy, soy, corn, peanuts, shellfish) to give your body a rest from possible food sensitivities or allergens. While these foods can be part of a healthful diet, it is important to rule them out as possible contributing factors to symptoms of imbalance. We also do not serve sugar or caffeine as these foods can further aggravate hormonal imbalances and may contribute to various health conditions.

Respecting individuality is an essential feature of Sanoviv’s nutritional philosophy, but until we identify what is uniquely best for you, it is best to avoid serving foods that have potential risks. Based on the recommendations of your doctor and nutritionist, we can offer a variety of diets ranging from predominantly raw live foods to mostly cooked foods. We will do our best to accommodate individual needs, balancing your health requirements with your current level of nutritional awareness.

Too often, nutritionists and diet books try to convince people into a certain way of eating based on their personal biases. This approach only makes sense if everyone had the same exact bio-chemical makeup. Yet our biochemical individuality, genetic inheritance, and current state of bodily health make each person have different nutritional requirements and tolerances.

Each person’s body chemistry and goals are unique so we believe that everyone’s dietary plan should be unique. Your nutritionist will be in continual communication between the doctors, the kitchen staff, and you to fine-tune your diet while at Sanoviv. You will learn a lot about nutrition and your body, while eating the highest quality foods that are delicious, enjoyable, and specifically beneficial for you.

The Sanoviv dietary program is a low stress, cleansing and regenerative diet, using enzymes, raw juices, and fermented foods to supply maximum energy with a minimum amount of digestive work. It is designed to be a transitional diet, to promote gradual lifestyle changes. People set themselves up for failure when they try to change their diet too quickly on their own. The supervised Sanoviv approach gives the body and mind a chance to adjust during the transition.
